"5 minutes and a roll on the floor later"

I started playing fantasy with the battle for skull pass set. I wasn't looking and set my arm down on one of the dead goblins I removed. When went to look at what had poked my arm I found a night goblin spearmen with his entire spear head embedded in forearm...

As for the cutting part, I do use a diabetic prick to get some blood for my khorne models. The shade of red just looks cooler.

Once my friend was staying at my house for the night (last year I think) and he'd been assembling his Night Goblin spearmen. First thing I felt when I got out of bed was twenty pointy spears impaling my toes.
Edit: it seems a lot of people have the same curse. It's happened to most of the Orc FB players at the FLG.

It made? Or you made? I know I would be screaming like a girl. But that's just me.

I got to the phone in time, but all they heard was, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!" as I yanked the paintbrush out.

Interesting how blood has a decidedly metallic taste to it.

ROFLMAO

Oh, my dear God! I don't know if it is the fact that I drove for 10 straight hours or what, but that has got to be the hands down funniest thing I have ever read! I almost pee'ed a little.

I have to raise my hand about the DE thing. Stupid, spikey plastics found some way to imbed in my hand. Even had someone say that every time I play my DE at my LGS, I bleed a little.

Well guys I never cease to amaze myself after I post this I decided to work on my Nurgle tank and wanted a little worn detail and I usually use the point of a hobby knife. Well the blade was dull so I was changing it and I had the blade off and I was sifting through my bits (where I keep my drill bits and blades in as well) and when I found the right compartment I hadn't seen the little container I keep my blades in was open, Blindly sifting my hand through I feel lots of pain and took my hand out (BAD MOVE) when I took my hand out I found 7 hobby knife blades sticking out of my hand. OUCH!

Once when i was making some terrain using a scalpel i realised that there were read spots on my newly cut buildings. I had cut a 3 cm gash in my humb without even realising.

Then it started hurting

Disfiguring disabilities aside, how on Earth did you cut your hump?

Must be a Guitar Hero modeler, ie modeling behind your head.

i think he meant thumb not humb

Cityfight scenery wins hands down everytime. Everytime we get that out to use, OUCH!, spike in the finger, hand, arm. I've lost count of how many times I've seen a gamer with a red welt up his arm I never question line of sight, cos there's no way I'm getting my eyes THAT close to the board I'm amazed no child has been impaled yet with the net result of mum & dad suing them.

If you give Dark Angel models a hobby knife they'll cut themselves for you

Try telling my poor hand that.

managed to cut myself with an ork power klaw, no idea how lol
and on the same model (was drunk at the time) managed to glue his base to my finger, when i pulled it off i lost the ridges off of my finger tip XD

Note: do not put models together when drunk, it results in injury most of the time, also, do not annoy your GF when she is near your models, an ork in mega armour may not look strong, but when thrown at you it will leave a mark

one again, same model :K

the triple offender :K

When I was 12 I got the 2nd ed. 40K box set for xmas, and by the time the humble chicken had roasted I had already stepped barefoot on 20 Space Orks and their decidedly prickly helmets.

Also, I had a friend who glued his hands together, to the extent that his mother had to spoon feed him for the rest of the day. We live, and we learn.

one time with a modelling knife i was cutting some foam up, anyway mu cat made me jump, knife slipped and i cut my finger to the bone, still can't get the blood out the carpet, my advice don't mess with knives

I bled plenty on my newest battlewagon.

when you're working with razorblades, sharp broken pieces of plasticard, pins, drill bits, etc its amazing if you're not suffering atleast minor damage

NaZ

This is actually an advantage if you play CSM, I hear Khorne Berserkers Gain 1 A from beeing painted with real blood :V

i hate empire spearman, many a time when i get them out the box and stab myself with the spears, they really hurt

Haha nice



Anyway when when I read the gluing the hands together thing it made me want to tell you all how my friends and I glued my other friends hands together with contact cement one night ^-^

Sounds like you might want to read up a little here.

That aside, I don't use exacto / hobby knives anymore. I use scalpels. It just seems like I should be using the right tool for the job. That and they leave clean cuts that heal well.

the sword from my stormtrooper sargent cut in my hand.

So its not just blood for the blood god but also spreading disease for grandpa nurgle , its a two for one sale!

(Disclaimer: despite my joking around, AIDS and other bloodborne diseases are really dangerous, please do not paint your marines wether khornite or nurgleite with real blood to keep your fellow hobbyists save. No your gloss finish is not keeping the bacteria locked inside. Its bad, don't do it! )

i once knelt on one of the 2nd edition starter box gretchin (the ones with WWI german helmets and autoguns)

needless to say if I had needed to cast a couple of spikes, I could have used the hole it left, perfectly square lol

I hope you guys stay away from the model razor wire, that could get messy

I watched a coworker throw (?!?!) a demon prince at someone and draw blood. . . does that count?

1. blood dosen't contain bacteria 2. the only way you would catch a blood borne diesase is from licking the model which i don't think too many people do anyway

i have never cut myself on a model/knife etc
which i dont know if it is good or bad.

but i have a file cut through inbetween my thumb and finger.. (the squishy part, and yes all the way through) and have had many times gotten fingers stuck with that damn super glue -.-

Cheers,
Gutteridge

i think most people have super glued themselves

If you've not seen it before, then our wargaming injuries article chronicles some of the more amusing (and severe) injuries from wargaming. The superglue-disolves-contact lenses story is still the worst though (probably), though Ghidorah, your tongue piercing sounds like it was great fun too!

Rumour is that if you lick a slaan model you get hallucinations
